An object of height 18.4 cm is distance \( s_0 = 89.8 \) cm from a **concave mirror** of focal length 2.13 cm. At \( t = 0 \), the shape of the mirror begins to change, so that the focal length is decreasing at a constant rate:

\[
\frac{df}{dt} = -3.57 \text{ cm/s}.
\]

Find the rate at which the height of the image is changing, in cm/s. The sign will indicate if the value of the height of the image is increasing or decreasing.
